When the Butterfly Arrive:
The butterflies arrive at a Styrofoam box or large box with ice pack. This is to keep the butterflies in a calm state, as they are when they hibernate during the colder months of the year. At home you can put them on refrigerator but NOT in FREEZER, cover them with clothes of anything that will keep the release basket darker. They are safe to stay there for hours or a day.
* Do not store them in hot places, they are cold-blooded animal.
Readying your Butterfly on the day of Event:
Two or three hours before the time of the release you will need to remove the individual release
boxes or envelopes from the storage box and away from the ice in order for them to begin to warm up and get ready to fly. Place the release boxes or envelopes in a sunny spot for about a half an hour if it is a cooler day. Remember that the butterflies won’t fly at all if the temperature outside is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. If it is very warm outside, place the release boxes in a shady area for the two or three hours. A sunny, warm, flower-filled area or garden is the most ideal place. When release at afternoon, it should be at least 1 hour before the sunset, to give them time to look for food and shelter before it gets dark. Do not capture or kill them.

During the release there will be many opportunities for wedding pictures of the bride and groom with the butterflies as well as the guests. Be sure the photographer and guests have their cameras ready!
A butterfly first flight is usually very short, and they will instinctively fly toward the brightest object. Usually, much to the delight of wedding guests, people wearing bright colors, or towards flowers and bouquets.

it settles upon you when you least expect it.
Butterfly Irish Release Blessing:
May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun And find your shoulder to light on, To bring you luck, happiness and riches Today, tomorrow and beyond.
One of the most popular sayings to incorporate into your release is the American Indian Legend about the butterfly. Below is a suggestion of how to use this legend during your wedding butterfly release:
If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it.
Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all.
In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish.
So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted.
We have all gathered to grant this couple all our best wishes and are about to set these butterflies free in trust that all these wishes will be granted.

When it comes to releasing butterflies on your wedding day, you want to make sure that it is special and that you are letting your new husband/wife know exactly what you are feeling. If you have written your own vows, incorporating butterflies and everything that they stand for into your vows is a great way to tie the butterflies being released into your ceremony.
